Just tried my first DuClaw beer the other day. Bought a sixer of their Devil's Milk barleywine. It's not the best barleywine I've ever had, but it was damn good.vdubb96;1757865 wrote:Lagunitas sucks, Dirty little freak from DuClaw

I was not aware that Founders and Lagunitas sold partial (I think 50% each?) to macros.

Yes. Founders sold 30% of theirs in Dec of 2014 to Mahou San Miguel, a family-owned company that operates seven brewing operations in Spain and one in India.Sonofanump;1773677 wrote:I was not aware that Founders and Lagunitas sold partial (I think 50% each?) to macros.
Lagunitas sold 50% to Heineken last September.

Tried a cantaloupe saison from DuClaw this evening. Was alright, more interested in seeing how they did the fruit, it was subtle.

Went to Denver this weekend, had some really tasty brews.
Had a couple Hefeweizens that were good, some Blondes that were alright, and some apricot Ales that were real good. Denver is fun.

Enjoying a Guinness. Such a good beer if poured correctly at correct temp.

So I happened to be at the Clifton American Legion in Fairwiew Park last Friday and tried Red Hook Pumpkin Ale on tap, 8%.
It was very good, especially at the price of $1.50/pint!
God Bless the USA!

Appreciate the sweeping generalization. Not all of us think you're a terrible person for drinking Bud Light.MontyBrunswick;1780418 wrote:Good!!! craft beer enthusiasts need brought down a peg. sound like a bunch of pretentious doush bags!!!!!!
However, if we need a reminder of AB InBev's hypocrisy on the subject, this happened for last year's Super Bowl:

Also, worth noting, the ad pokes at "imported" beers. InBev itself isn't domestic.
It's dumb. Get off the high horse and drink whatever beverage one wants to drink.
